FiberPatrol IDS Software Guide
Once the launch countdown is completed, a Login window displays:
The System Status field will display “Initializing” which will turn to Disarmed, Warning, or Cable Cut
once the initialization sequence is complete. Ignore the System Status at this time as the
FiberPatrol system has not been configured.
Safe Start
The FiberPatrol FP1150 series launches into safe start mode during the initialization process. Safe
start mode prevents potential damage to the photo-detectors that can be caused by incorrect fiber
installation. If safe start detects a fiber problem the user must login at the Installer level to continue
the initialization process.
